Premex Positive on Jackson Recommendations

19 January 2010

In the report, Lord Justice Jackson emphasised the value of MRO
services, saying that: "MROs has had the overall effect of
controlling the costs of obtaining medical evidence in personal
injury cases."

His views were welcomed by Premex chief executive Simon
Margolis, who said Lord Justice Jackson had been persuaded that
development of MRO services had been beneficial to claimants and
defendants.

Mr Margolis said: "It is something of a positive affirmation
that Jackson LJ recognises the alternative to there being no MRO
services is to go back to an unwieldy, inefficient and costly
process.

"We are not complacent and I am confident we will be able to
continue to demonstrate our value to the claims process by
controlling costs and improving efficiency."
